Key result
PPVI with a 32 mm Myval valve succeeds in a large, tortuous RVOT.
Why the study?
Pulmonary valve replacement in patients with congenital heart diseases and heart failure is challenging.
Case Report (n=1)
A 32 mm Myval valve can be effectively used for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in patients with a large and tortuous right ventricle outflow tract.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May enable percutaneous options in complex RVOT anatomy; leaves open need for prospective data on durability and generalizability.
Houeijeh et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Surgical fallot repair with chronic heart failure and chronic pulmonary regurgitation (n=1). Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) with a 32 mm Myval valve was evaluated. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation using a 32 mm Myval valve was effective in a patient with a large and tortuous right ventricle outflow tract.
